Escrito a mano: Illinois State Capitol Springfield
The current capitol is in the architectural style of the French Renaissance. The capitol was designed by Cochrane and Garnsey, an architecture and design firm based in Chicago, Illinois. Ground was first broken for the new capitol on March 11, 1869, and it was completed twenty years later for a total cost of $4,500,000.
The capitol dome is covered in zinc to provide a silvery facade which
does not weather. The interior of the dome features a plaster frieze
painted to resemble bronze, which illustrates scenes from Illinois
history, and stained glass windows (including a stained glass replica of
the state seal in the oculus of the dome).

coastline as far south as Delaware Bay.
By 1640 a complete government had been established and the settlement,
originally called Quinnipiac, was renamed Newhaven. The town plan was
based on a grid of nine squares. In accordance with old English custom,

1641 New Haven had grown into a community of approximately 800......

L’assimilation du régionalisme dans l’architecture balnéaire
L’apparition du style néo-normand est sans doute la plus précoce mais aussi la plus ambiguë du régionalisme. D’après Claude Mignot, le créateur du type de la villa néo-normande
semble être l’architecte caennais Jacques Baumier père. Dès 1860, celui-ci bâtit les dépendances de la villa Suzanne de Louis-Léon Paris à Houlgate et, deux ans plus tard, sur la plage de Trouville la Maison normande pour Adolphe Cordier. Elles seront suivies de trois autres réalisations sur les hauteurs de la même station. Il faut attendre une vingtaine d’années pour voir se répandre la seconde génération de villas sur toute la côte normande, signées par de nombreux architectes comme
